    Summary

    Someone posts a photo of Shane looking very in love with Ilya after the first term of the Irina Foundation's hockey camp.

    Ilya’s grinning, his head bowed towards Shane’s, his hand gripping the back of Shane’s neck. They’re in their kit on the ice.

    Ilya's a little blurry, in motion, but Shane's not. It’s Shane’s face. It’s what his face is doing, it has to be. He’s ducked his head, but it’s still visible. He’s looking at Ilya. Shane’s never seen that look on his own face. He didn’t know it could do that. It’s soft and hungry. His eyes are hot. He’s melting under Ilya’s hand. It’s a smoking fucking gun. There’s a fragment of his love on his face, on Twitter.

    Summary

    “You think I have no friends, is that what this face is? You shouldn’t be so surprised.” He waved a hand at Hollander, proof of the pudding.

    “What?” Hollander said blankly. And then: “Friends?”

    Ilya said lightly, “No? Not even after all these years? I might cry, Hollander.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “You’re not staying over?” he said.

    “Oh.” A thread of unease curled through Ilya. “I hadn’t thought about it.”

    Shane said, “So you’re planning to—leave? After lunch?”

    “I really didn’t think about it.”

    If he had thought, he would have known that Shane wanted him to stay. That he could either plan to go along with that, or not. So he hadn’t thought about it.

    Shane was upset; he really couldn’t hide when he was upset.

    “Is it only okay when you do it?”

    “When I do what?”

    “I don’t know, everything?” Shane shrugged. “Staying over, fucking other people, it’s all fine if it’s your idea, right?”

    “Whoa,” Ilya said. His heart was pounding furiously. “Fucking other people, what?”

    Summary

    It's 2018 and everything has been going right for Yuna Hollander. She has her family, her career, and Shane, well Shane seems the happiest he's ever been. She knows her son is keeping secrets from her, but she also knows that with Shane, she's just going to have to wait it out for when he's ready to speak up. But then she gets a phone call from the Ottawa Centaurs telling her that their new staring center, Ilya Rozenov is in the hospital with a concussion, and that she, of all people, is listed as his emergency contact.

    (tldr) alternative timeline where Shane and Ilya do not get caught by David in 2017. And for an entire year Shane hasn't been able to come out to his parents. Ilya gets a concussion, and Yuna gets a call.

    Summary

    His outstretched glove hangs there, frozen, as the noise of the arena mutates into a ringing buzz. Then he’s moving, pushed away by Marlow, and then Boston’s goalie. There’s a flurry of movement, a trainer with a towel, more blood dripping onto the ice, and he just. Stands there. Staring.

    Ilya is helped off the ice. Shane doesn’t even tap his stick.

    Remember when Sidney Crosby caught a puck with his jaw? That doesn't happen to Shane. That happens to Ilya.
